Oh complete Bla Bla Bla Bla. For one, the camera won't be hitting US hands until a few weeks most likely. Number two, sure the camera CAN still look totally video-ish. But just wait until it's in the hands of somebody who is going for a dream. This camera will generate some gorgeous imagery, especially with people striving for perfection. The footage you saw is run and gun with auto modes utilized, and the guy is totally fine with just capturing the moment is very cool for supplying the footage. Always gotta be someone to rain on the parade, for sure. Boo on you. Cholly Ha HA HA.

A few weeks back, I marked up a chart found in a marketing PDF to state what MB/sec data rates each format requires. Maybe this may help some people. http://www.holyzoo.com/content/hvx200/HVX200_Formats.jpg And I also made an Excel spreadsheet to calculate storage requirements at different formats in the HVX200: http://www.holyzoo.com/content/hvx200/HVX2...culator.xls.zip

I remember that link floating around from October of 2004. Since then, I'd say the best do-it-yourself package for the cheapest is now the redrockmicro guide. It has a parts list and instructions to build your own for $45. http://redrockmicro.com/p_guide.htm Having spent time building my own adapter, I must say, I would MUCH rather purchase a pre-built device. As a reminder, here are the main options out there (besides the $10k mini35), none have been qualified with the HVX200 since it's not available yet, but most should be able to work with it. http://redrockmicro.com http://www.cinemek.com http://www.dandiaconu.com http://www.letus35.com/ - beware, people are having quite a few issues with this adapter, although it's image quality looks pretty nice.
